This invention relates to an improvement upon a patent granted to meunder date of August 20, 1861. In that patent there were four sections.In this there are only threein addition to the head.

In Fig. l, A represents the lower section. This has its upper sectionhollowed out, forming a cylinder for about one-third its length, intowhich the triangular canvas or leather seat S is packed when used as acane. The upper part, B, is formed in two sections, as indicated by thedotted lines in Fig. 2. The lower end, when the two parts are united,are formed into a round tenon, which enters the cavity in the lowersection, and thus holds t-hem securely in place. These two pieces areunited at or near their center by a pin, c, on which they articulatewhen the parts are separated to form a seat.

Two of the corners of the triangular piece S are attached, respectively,to the lower ends of the sections B, and in forming the seat the threesections are placed, respectively, in the position shown in Fig. 4, andthey are thus secured in place by the pin C ofthe head,
